Heather McKay Photography

I’m Heather — a laid-back, hopeless romantic wedding photographer based near Barrhead and working across Glasgow, the Scottish Highlands and the UK. My work sits at the intersection of documentary and editorial: I’m there for the real, unscripted moments between people, and I also shape light, composition and timing to produce images that feel magazine‑led yet deeply personal. Why choose me? Because I care about the way your day feels as much as how it looks. I take the time to understand the details you obsess over, the people you adore and the atmosphere you want to create. That means your gallery isn’t a list of poses — it’s an immersive, emotive story that lets you relive your wedding over and over. I document on both digital and 35mm film to blend modern clarity with the warmth and nostalgia of analogue grain, producing a collection that’s effortless, romantic and timeless. My approach is relaxed and collaborative. In the lead up to your wedding we’ll chat, create mood boards and fine-tune a plan so I know where to be and when. On the day I blend into your celebrations — a quiet presence during vows, a calm guide for portraits, and right in the middle of the party when the dancing starts. I give gentle prompts rather than forced posing, helping you feel comfortable and confident while keeping moments honest and natural. Practical touches are part of how I work: you’ll receive a preview shortly after your day and a curated gallery so you can immerse yourselves in the story we’ve created. I also offer extras such as a second photographer, engagement/honeymoon sessions and fine art albums to complement your collection. I started photography after art school and bring a filmmaking mindset to each wedding: composing scenes, capturing motion, and preserving emotion. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement on a windswept Highland ridge or a full‑day celebration in the city, I’m passionate about making the photography feel like a natural, joyful part of your day. If you’re searching for a Barrhead wedding photographer who prioritises authenticity, editorial style and the magic of film, I’d love to hear about your plans and help you craft a gallery that truly feels like you.
